Clark Street Closure: Advance Utility Relocation Work March 4 – April 7
Since summer 2018, CTA has been working with local utility companies to relocate utility lines, poles and equipment ahead of the start of the Red and Purple Modernization Phase One Project.

Traffic, Parking and Sidewalk Impacts:
Vehicle traffic will be rerouted in both directions via Clark, Belmont, Sheffield and then resume the normal route at Sheffield/Clark/Newport.
Parking will be limited within the closure area.
Sidewalks and pedestrian access to businesses will remain open.
